Learn to Say No by Lydia Loveless (http://www.lydialoveless.com)
tabbed by quanimal

I tabbed this by watching this: http://youtu.be/MLMNqEbCSOQ
so watch it for the exact chord timings and strum patterns, especially for the 
extra Bm that she throws in during the 3rd verse.

Also, I'm not sure about some of the lyrics, so if someone wants to let me know 
about any mistakes, let me know.

Very easy song to play, all open chords, regular tuning! This is a song about 
addiction and heartache so be sure to sing your heart out!

D: 000232 
Dsus4: 000233
A: 002220
G: 32003
Em: 022000
Bm: 224432

In the main riff, you strum a single D right before the A, which is just a matter 
of lifting your pinkie. Just listen to the song and you'll hear it.

Verse 2
and i know i've done nothing to earn your respect
i know better than your friend 
just how much of a mess i've made out of this
honey i still don't care what she says

to say i'm satisfied would somehow would imply
that i was deserving of a better life
but i've already given up trying to deny
so i'm wondering when I
